#5: Candy Photoworks

7:47:00 PM

Show of hands, who loves getting their
photo taken?! I know, right! Everybody does!! Hahahaha... #Pink and I have our
share of photo-taking-frenzy (now more than ever because we have to decorate
our Blog with pretty pics, don’t we :D). And yes, there were times when we
loved taking our own photos, using our phones, in front of mirrors, in public
bathrooms. Embarrassment? Not when everyone else is doing it too, ha!

The circled items indicate what we
did and where we did it LOL

Anyways, this brings us to our fave
thing #5: Candy Photoworks.

Around a year ago, to commemorate something
(which for the love of God I can’t recall now. So much for commemorating, right... *sigh*), we decided to round up the gang and get our
group photo taken – professionally (I guess I watch too much Keeping Up with
The Kardashian and was inspired by their fab Christmas cards). As
true-kiasu-at-heart, we didn’t want to spend too much on the photog (#Pink and
I can be pretty stingy when it comes to certain things) thus begun the newbie
photog hunt. I browsed and browsed and stumbled onto one of my old friends’
Facebook page: Candy. She had a massive collection of pretty photos of her and
her friends – most of them are nicely edited! With nothing to lose I contacted
her trying to see if she would like to do the project. Apparently photography was
a mere hobby for her at that time, but she was up for the challenge and we got
ourselves an awesome deal!! *the kiasu inside #Pink and me rejoiced!!! LOL*

So the photo shoot day came and we were
pretty excited about it. Little did we know that being a model was going to be
such a hard work LOL. The day was HOT and it was both an indoor and outdoor shoot. And lemme
tell you something, to constantly pose (in a group) and smile (on cue) while
juggling an impatient 4-yeard-old was not the easiest thing to do. But boy it was
fun!!! And it got even more fun when we finally got the results. We were
extremely pleased with how our photos turned out!!

with the impatient little boy - LOVE him!

I think I can proudly say that being our
photog gave Candy (and her man: Hendrawan) the final push to pursue their
career in this business, and ever since then their client list just expanded:
from single photoshoots to baby/children photography to family photoshoot to
engagement journalism, and so on. Just quite recently I had another chance to
work with Candy Photoworks and it was for quite an important event: my wedding
day (yes people, I'm married *flashing my wedding band* :p). Candy was quite
hesitant because she had never worked on a wedding before, but I wouldn't take
no for an answer as I honestly had no other photog in mind, I just want them
LOL, and she finally caved (yay!!) and gave me the friends-and-family discount
(double yay!!!)

Once again the result is just
perfection. I LOVE my wedding photos!! I knew I made the right decision by
hiring them the moment I took a look at the few first photos they uploaded to
their Facebook Page, and I'm going to share a few here. Now you know why Candy Photoworks is our fave thing #5. For more photos and information, you can visit their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/CandyPhotoworks?ref=ts&fref=ts. Tell them that you heard about them from us and (hopefully) they'll also give YOU a special deal!!
